Fierce God Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Sry for late reply, i just logged on ok, i will play around this and see what happens I will try it your first then if that dosnt work, i will try to make it the way you said, but one for each thing i want a point to be awarded to Will get back to you and tell you the results again thank you Link to comment
Cyboman Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Maybe someone can help me: 1. I want to award (point credit) my members with points for a daily login. How can I define a daily login event? Members should only be awarded once a day, even if they log in and out and in multiple times. Probably this rule must be created with a custom action (daily login counter = 1) but I don't know how. 2. I want to award (point credit) my members for receiving (+5) and also for giving reputation (+1). But my rule doesn't seem to work. EVENT: Member receives reputation points CONDITIONS: none ACTIONS: Credit, Member that received the reputation, 5 Credit, Member that gave the reputation, 1 I also send notifications for both members, packed in 2 notification actions Do I require a custom action for this rule? 3. By the way, has anybody found a solution, how to reward special reactions? Is it possible with any PHP code? I think this is VERY IMPORTANT! F.e. I want to create rules like "If a post gets 10 x 'sad' reaction, then debit the member -10 points' Please help me with these rules. Thanks very much! Edited July 28, 2017 by Cyboman Link to comment

Probably this rule must be created with a custom action (daily login counter = 1) but I don't know how. That should be something in the line of: Create custom data field attached to member. Call it "Logged in today" and make it a yes/no value with default value to No. The rule then should look like this: Event: Member logged in to the system Condition: Check if value of "Logged in today" is NO Action 1: Credit a point Action 2: Set the value of "Logged in today" to YES You will need another rule that resets all YES back to NO at 23:59. Create custom action attached to members that runs on 23:59 each day, set this to a new event, check if the value is yes, then switch it to NO. An issue that you may encounter: I am not sure how logged in event is triggered when the user has clicked the "remember me" checkbox, whether it counts as a new login or as long as the password is remembered no user login is counted. You will have to investigate this. 5 hours ago, Cyboman said: 2. I want to award (point credit) my members for receiving (+5) and also for giving reputation (+1). But my rule doesn't seem to work.

Issue has been raised with IPS, they said they are thinking about it. I guess thats the reason both 2 and 3 are not working at the moment. Edited July 28, 2017 by jair101 Fierce God 1 Link to comment
Cyboman Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Here are my impassioned pleas to IPS concerning the interface deployment for additional features like virtual "point currencies" and "reactions" to be used with automations rules and points economy. It would be great if you would support these topics, that IPS can see our urgent needs for these possibilities. I hope to gather a fanbase for these ideas, so automation rules and points economy can become much more mighty. For now, I see that if no reactions can be used, all my gamification ideas come to the end. It's an essential requirement. Same for the showup of points currencies in IP.Commerce, IP.Downloads and other third party applications. Thanks for your help! SammyS, DSystem and Fierce God 3 Link to comment
Fierce God Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I like this, and all your other topics I have to agree that this is a much needed thing and will only make IPS software a much more exciting to use and the community will also enjoy the owners of the board being able to add in more custom features as this will bring I'm with you on this @Cyboman coolcomfort and Cyboman 2 Link to comment
pnkllr Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi guys, thought maybe one of you could shed some light on the engagement rule. So the rule detects if the user logins, and then sets up a Schedule yes? What if, the user never logs out, and they are also logged into the site? How will the rule know if they "logged in" to reschedule? If they never logout, and use the same pc on the site for the next two months, they will still get the engagement email as the rule never detected a new login, is there a way to detect if the user is has been online on the site? other then having the user manually logout and then log back in?

christopher-w Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi, looks great. Can you tell me which version this currently supports? I'm running v4.2.3 in the cloud. Many thanks Link to comment
Kevin Carwile Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 @pnkllr Set the scheduled reengagement to happen after twice as long as your login session timeout period to be safe. @christopher-w I'm pretty sure its compatible all the way. Link to comment
Cyboman Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I still haven't found a complete solution to an automated points application that can be designed with complex rules sets. What I want to realize is this: Maybe there is someone out there who can help designing it (^^) with automation rules plus points economy if it would get some more features? Such an automation rules templates system would be really powerful and could be even sold in the IPS marketplace... Link to comment
15thMEU RU HQ Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hey there, I'm trying this out and having a small issue that I'd like to see is the norm or not before I dive into the full version. I've tried both the 'Notification' rule and the 'Start a PM' rule. -With the notification, it only displays the title of the notification, not the Contents. -With the Start a PM, the receipient does not get a notification of a new PM, it basically comes in as read already. However the sender gets a notification about it. Are these normal? Link to comment
Kevin Carwile Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 The notification having no content is an IPS thing. If you report the other issue on my support site, I can look at a fix for it on an upcoming release. Link to comment
Wildcard Chris Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Hey @Kevin Carwile is there a way in Rules to check if a user has a notification, if so does the notification content contain a certain string? Many thanks in advance! Link to comment
Kevin Carwile Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 It sounds like you are asking if rules has a condition that will search all existing user notifications for a particular string, but it does not. Of course, that could be checked using a custom piece of php code that loaded the users notifications and iterated on them while searching for a string in their content, however, that is not an out of the box stock action.

Fierce God Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) @Kevin Carwile I have rules app and the paths app Im trying to get dummy directions on how i can make change the forum member url from....... I'm Trying to do this as a Global thing for already members and new ones to join Example: https://fungamingnetwork.com/profile/2-mronecall/ To https://fungamingnetwork.com/mronecall this will also make the referral link change to a shorter version, or use the same link as the referral link Can this be made possible and if so, if you have a sec, can you break it down to me on how it's done, here or in PM? thanks in advance Edited October 1, 2017 by Mr. Fierce God Link to comment
Steph40 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 @FGN Try this: In the path write: mronecall in the Mapped to write : https://fungamingnetwork.com/profile/2-mronecall/ You can leave Url Protocol to automatic Hope it helps. Fierce God 1 Link to comment

Many thanks in advance! If you don't mind, maybe you can give more details about your idea. While it is difficult to check the notification, maybe it is possible to work with the event that creates this notification... Link to comment

jair101 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 1 hour ago, FGN said: @Kevin Carwile or anyone? Without having precise experience with your issue, I suggest the following steps: 1. Create a custom action with Members as argument. This will be scheduled manually and used as an event trigger to create the url's for all existing members. 2. Create a rule with the event, the custom action you just created. In action field add Create url alias and in the settings add: Map to URL I believe should be unchanged, for URL path you need to use the token for the membername listed on top. You need to schedule the rule, run it and thats it. I guess some of the things I wrote might sound foreign to you, Rules app have a bit of a steep initial learning curve. But you can learn it by doing Just give it a try and if you are stuck somewhere, let me know. To have the urls created for new members, you need to use slightly different rule (with event "Account is validated"), but we can leave this one out for now. Fierce God 1 Link to comment
Fierce God Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 ok, wow, thank you so much i will work on this today, and if i have issues i will get back to you here or PM again thank you @jair101 Link to comment
Fierce God Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 @jair101 For some reason in the rule i made settings, i'm not getting that picture you showed me I get this? or am i in the wrong place to do the url and member token? Link to comment
Fierce God Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 ok @jair101 Si i figured out where to find those settings you were talking about Just have one problem.......i don't get that option Event/Global Data....it only gives me the manual configuration and PHP Code Link to comment

Did you create custom action with member argument? Start from there By they way, maybe its better if we create the other rule first - the one for the new registrations. It will be easier to test without creating thousands of path aliases. So pretty much follow the steps I described before, but instead of custom action use for event "Account is validated", then for action do the thing with the path aliases, then try to register and check if it works Fierce God 1 Link to comment
Fierce God Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 ok, one dummy question Maybe its been so long since i used Rules, but can you explain to me where i see to make the "argument"? I thought there was a tab that said that? @jair101 Link to comment
